===Show=== Once the play is complete, each player in turn, starting with the player on the left of the dealer, displays their own hand on the table and scores points based on its content ''in conjunction with the starter card''. Points are scored for: *Combinations of any number of cards totalling fifteen (2 points each) *Runs (1 point for each card) *Pairs (2 points each. Multiple pairs are scored pair by pair but may be referred to as three or four of a kind.) *Four-card [[flush (cards)|flush]] (All four cards in the hand of the same suit score 4 points.) *Five-card flush (All four cards in the hand of the same suit as the starter card score 5 points. A flush in the crib must be a five-card flush according to the official rules of the ACC.<ref>{{Cite web |title=American Cribbage Congress Website |url=https://www.cribbage.org/newsite/rules/default.asp |access-date=2023-02-08 |website=www.cribbage.org |archive-date=2023-02-08 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230208145606/https://www.cribbage.org/newsite/rules/default.asp |url-status=live }}</ref>) *Having a jack of the same suit as the starter card (1 point; referred to as "one for his nob [or ''nobs'' or ''nibs'']" or sometimes the "right" jack) The dealer scores their hand last and then turns the cards in the crib face up. These cards are then scored by the dealer as an additional hand, also in conjunction with the starter card. Unlike the dealer's own hand, the crib cannot score a four-card flush, but it can score a five-card flush with the starter. All scores from 0 to 29 are possible, with the exception of 19, 25, 26 and 27.<ref name="lumetta">{{cite web |url= http://www.crhc.uiuc.edu/~steve/humor/cribbage.html |title= Amusing Cribbage Facts |access-date= 2008-03-03 |author= Steven S.
